The Thought Police Have Been Greenlit

Perhaps you have read 1984 or Brave New World?  I enjoyed the latter more than the former because it seemed a bit more believable.  1984 was just too far-fetched for me to suspend my disbelief and came across more as a future fantasy than a future possibility.

I guess I was wrong about the fantasy.  The thought police has just been declared 100% constitutional for this country.  Say what?

In deeming that the ObamaCare individual mandate (the requirement that each person in America have their own health insurance) was constitutional and hunky-dory, a federal judge had these words of wisdom to say:

"As previous Commerce Clause cases have all involved physical activity, as opposed to mental activity, i.e. decision-making, there is little judicial guidance on whether the latter falls within Congress’s power. ... However, this Court finds the distinction, which Plaintiffs rely on heavily, to be of little significance.  ...  It is pure semantics to argue that an individual who makes a choice to forgo health insurance is not 'acting,' especially given the serious economic and health-related consequences to every individual of that choice.  Making a choice is an affirmative action, whether one decides to do something or not do something."
     -- Judge Kessler remarks in his ruling on Civil Action No. 10-950 (p.45)

So this fellow is saying that the federal government CAN regulate mental activities and choices!?

Wow.  It boggles the mind...  When the whole HealthCare thing was being debated, the opponents who said it would lead, slippery-slope-like, to the government forcing us to buy whatever they wanted to seemed, I dunno', a bit on the fantasy-side to me.  But apparently the slope didn't slide far enough for this guy - the upshot of this ruling is that he thinks the federal government has the authority to control EVERY decision we make or don't make.

Right...  About that...

Two little questions:
1) Where do you think this level of absolute tyranny will lead?
2) How the heck do you plan on enforcing it, bub?

Hey, Judge Kessler?  I'm mentally sending some 'illegal' thoughts your way!
